There is nothing as easy money anymore with cryptocurrency. Usually the coin compensate for the overhype right after the coin is release. Like many other people stated, some exchanges do not even support such forks. I honestly think hard forks is like printing money. The only people who get rich are either the early adopters or whoever suggested the fork. What happened to the technology? Now its all about the money....

I hope you chose EOS! Way more potential than stellar. If you compare circulating supply, I wouldnt touch stellar at all. Wasn't Stellar like a side project of one of the old XRP developers?

I really hate hard forks in cryptocurrency. Sure, Monero had some issues in their code but it was fixed but Hard Forking? I'm starting to think when a coin hard fork it is like printing new money again. Remember that thing called FIAT where we trying to get away from...stopping the endless printing and crazy inflation. I thought cryptocurrency was a way to make Fiat obsolete, but now looking at it, it's the same old shet but just a different way of doing it.

Are you stating that BCash will overtake BTC as the top currency? Or are you saying that BTC will hit like $50k this year and BCash will follow along with it? Do you have any evidence to back this besides the BTC run in 2017?

If I had to go all in on one coin, it would be IOTA. Great platform and major company are already establishing partnerships with it. It runs on the tangle network where the more nodes increases the speed. No mining necessary and the supply isn't as high as to Cardano.

I'll give you a glimpse into my portfolio. Of course, do your own due diligence before investing.
My picks:

1) PRL - Finished testnet B is a blend of Iota and Eth
2) ELIX - Platform lending Testing phase
3) DeepOnion - Best community and low marketcap
4) IOTA - Tangle network will beat out Eth and BTC -- 0 Fees!

In my honest opinion avoid all lending platforms or lending tokens. Look at Bitconnect, Westerncoin, and regalcoin all failed horribly and burned people life savings up so fast. Why don't you invest in coins that actually have a use like ethereum, bitcoin, cardano and IOTA. All have longevity and potential to grow 10x to 20x in the near future.

Alts are dangerous in general for investing. Look at how many coins/project that has literally failed. I read somewhere that 90% of new ICO have failed since 2017. If you believe in the project and willing to hold it long term then anything is possible.

$2k? That is a pretty big investment for someone just joining the crypto scene. I would recommend Ethereum and Cardano. Both are platform coins and both have huge room of growth in 2018.

Really $100? People really need to stop pulling numbers out of thin air. Look at SALT that a more established lending program and they are barely hit $5 and you are expecting ELIX which is currently at .33 Cent USD to hit $100. I see it going to maybe $4 at most if they can pull off a working platform.

Your top 3 look like horrible choices in my honest opinion. I guess if you just want quick gains after ICO release then it is okay. But if you want longterm crypto I would suggest projects that actually have a use bases and huge community/dev behinds it like:

1) IOTA
2) Cardano
3) DeepOnion

It is your money, but just look at the 3 coins I offered.

ADA is honestly a safe project to invest in. They have huge long term potential compared to other coins at the moment. I wouldn't mind holding these coins for years and years to come. If you are just looking for quick gains this coin isnt it, but if you want long term massive gains this is a huge contender. Although the marketcap is sitting pretty high it can potentially grow even more beyond where it is at. My price speculation is $1.50 summer, $2.5 December.

Isn't ARK a fork of Lisk? ARK and RISE all do delegate staking is this correct? Why would you want to hold or stake ARK, and not buy LISK? I see bigger potential and price break out with LISK than ARK.

If this is true, then count me in. Using reward points and loyalty points as a quick way for payment seems like an ideal space for growth in the crypto space. I honestly think crypto is like the internet 2.0 for businesses.

The only way to truly make huge gains in crypto is play long term. These huge swings we have been going through can literally make or break you. I only just set my buy price and don't look at it again until a predetermine date or goal.

Look at all the crypto-millionaires they freaking held.

100X? Man... There are so many privacy coins out there claiming total anon and decentralized. What makes this coins so much better than Monero, PIVX, DeepOnion, XSpec, Phore, NAV and Verge?

I am holding on this coin since November. It is still going strong even after the fluctuations and with all the good news coming up, I can't wait for this price to explode. My only regret now is that I didn't pick up more PRL when it was under $1. Cryptopia has been dropping the ball lately so my original PRL are still freaking stuck. I hope they get this issue fix asap.

The big crash we had just ended. The MC went from 800B to 295B. That was a crash. The 10% pull back we are having now is just a small correction we are going through which is natural since the weekend is coming. There are so much positive news around the media at the moment so yes this is natural. Just wait until March and April arrive... it will be stellar months ahead.  

If you are just looking for pump coins, there are 1000+ coins that can be pumped any moment. But if you are looking for coins that potential have a bright future and there is a foreseeable use to them would probably be platform coins like the following : Ethereum, Cardano, EOS, Neblio, Waves, and LIsk.

BTC is slowly trying to get back its dominance but not too much. Honestly, the flippening might happen this year with Ethereum. There are more better usages with ETH than BTC at the moment. All the new ICO are based on ETH blockchain not BTC anymore. There are so many better and newer coins out there way better. BTC has always been the 1st of everything and its everyone knows and talks about. Just like MYspace or AOL---BTC will suffer the same fate. Venezuela just pushed their ICO out and some anon 400 million investor bought BTC that is what is happening at the moment...
